DERRY.

recently OCCuTTGu dI EduSuduVol0,
County Derry. 1t appears from the in
formation received that respectable
middle-aged woman named Craig had
gone to a neighboring shop for the pur-
pose of purchasing some groceries, and
while there, as the people were churn'
ing at the time, stopped to give them a
s'brash,'' Mrs. Craig left very soon
after with her purchases, but had only
gone short distance when she re-
turned in fainting condition exclaim-
ing, II am done, +" and fell on the floor
and soon expired. Much sympathy is
evinced for the family who are popular
in the district.
DUBLIN.
We are in a position to state that
Mrs. Cobbe. Newbridge House, Dona-
bate, county Dublin, has granted to her
tenantry, at Glenasmol, .Tallaght,
county Dublin. twenty-five per cent off
the arrears, ana fifteen per cent off the

Sir John Darlington, well-known
citizen of Dublin, who twice filled the
Office of Lord Mayor, and for more than
twenty years had been member of the
civic council, died on May. Sir John
was the eldest son of the late Edward
Darlington, of Fassaroe, Bray, and a
member of the firm of John Darlington
& Sons, soap and candle merchants,
Great Britain street. Being somewhat
prominent in Conservative circles, his
party twice elected him for the office of
Lord Mayor-the first time in 1865. the
second in 1879. On the latter occasion
he had the honor of entertaining Gen
eral Grant at the Mansion House.
Three years after his first mayoralty he
was knighted. Though he always voted
with the Conservatives in the town
council, Sir John Darlington was
rarely, if ever, aggressive in his tone or
and the characteristic light
ness and jocosity which he displayed in
debate caused him to be regarded less
as serious, than a good-humored pc
litician. Like other Conservatives of
position, he joined Mr.. Butts Home
Rule movement at It's inception, and
was member of the Council of the
League.
FERMANAGH.

which might be forced upon them, they
would soon see their efforts crowned
with victory.
